One Of our townsmen had fearful expe.
rience with den Of wild animals last Saturday
while out 10 the woods after blsckberries He
il
and Was picking along from brisr to briar, not
In the least dreaming that he was in danger OF
being attacked by . den Of vicious wild ami
mails. In his meanderings he came to bunch
Of briars ct large hollow log, when his attep-
ton was attracted to the log by growlings.
Thinking that the monster was preparing TO
rush out and attack him, he made hasty re.
treat to town. After informing his wife Of his
dreadful experience, he hastened up town to
inform Jack Baker, the Nimrod. After giving
him description Of the den, Jack exclaimed
cts foxes !" and hastily summoned crowd Of
men and boys, we'll armed, and Q number OF
| well-trained dogs, and with the gentleman who
discovered the den % guide, marched out to
capture whatever the growler In the log might
prove to be. When they arrived in sight Of the
right hand, with the exception Of the index
| finger, raised his arm to horizontal position,
with the end OF the finger slightly dropping,
and called to Captain Jack, and exclaimed,
"yonder Is the log" Captain Jack placed his
men in position around the log and with
cautious step they closed in upon the den, an
placing one Of his most trusty marksmen on
the log and the others with the dogs in such a
position ss would insure the capture of any
that might attempt to get away he went in to
reconnoitre. Arriving near the hollow he
plainly heard deep hoarse growing within.
and stopped and looked in the log. and there
to bis surprise he saw Q goose, and the
strangest thing about it was it was alive. One
Of the boys was induced to crawl in and bring
out the goose, and what do you think he
brought out? A young buzzard. There we're
two Of them nearly grown. have not time to
pursue this narration further, but il you wish
to further investigate this wonderful exper.
ience invite Prof. J. II. Holiday to give q

and habits Of the buzzard.
p. s. That brigade Of hunters who went
